Next Chapter

"Eighty-seven, eighty-eight......"

The sky had just dawned, and a faint mist was still wrapped around the sky, and in the distance, a faint touch of fish belly white had just risen in the east, and a string of mist like silk had just risen in the dense forest.

In a forest adjacent to Chenglin Village, there is already a relatively strong figure sweating like rain here.

It was a young man of about fifteen or sixteen years old, not under the weak crown, with a scarf around his head, and judging by his exposed wheat-colored skin and strong muscles, it could be seen that he should not be the person who was hot for three minutes......

"Yo, it's early~ Ah He, get up so early to exercise~"

"Ninety~"

Hearing the voice, the young man's hands kept moving, raised his head slightly, and then saw a farmer with a little wrinkles on his face, a little white hair on his head, dark skin, a slight arch of his back, a hat on his head, and a hoe on his head, and a farmer who was about thirty or forty years old, suddenly showed a smile on his face, and responded:

"Morning, Uncle Wu~"

Looking at the young man who was still practicing hard with his head bowed after saying hello to himself, the farmer who was called Uncle Wu by the young man shook his head slightly with a smile, and sighed as he walked.

"If only that little boy in my house was as diligent as you. I don't want to get up when the sun is sun, I don't want to get up when I don't go out of the gate, I can't lift my hands now, I can't carry my shoulders, I hold a broken book all day long and shout that I want to go to the big city, just like him, alas......"

"Whether he can marry a daughter-in-law and eat enough in the future is a question......"

"Ninety-Seven-Ninety-Eight-Ninety-Nine-Hundred......"

Listening to the complaint of his Uncle Wu in his ears, the young man who was silently counting in his heart raised his head again, and persuaded with a little breath in his voice:

"I said Uncle Wu, don't be too harsh on Xiaosi, everyone has different talents, some people are born to practice martial arts, and some people are born to practice literature."

"Maybe Xiao Si is suitable for studying literature, you have to let him practice martial arts or go to the field to farm, then it is called burying him......"

"It's difficult~"

Shaking his head slightly, Uncle Wu waved his hand at the young man, and then slowly walked away with the hoe......

Seeing Uncle Wu walking farther and farther, the young man continued to bow his head and change his posture and practice hard......

……

With the red light of the morning sun spreading across the land, and with the crowing of the rooster sounding one after another, there are more and more people walking by with hoes.

Some of them greeted the boy with a smile, some people looked away as if they didn't see it at all, and some people cast a look with contempt and contempt in their eyes.

A small village with the same horns, a total of no more than 100 households, a small dirt road, but only a hundred meters, a small grove, but a hundred trees, but gathered all kinds of things in the world.

After completing a series of exercises such as dumbbell squats, dumbbell lunge squats, dumbbell straight-leg deadlifts, one-arm side raises, bent dumbbell arm flexion and extension, hammer dumbbell curls, dumbbell bench presses, and attached dumbbell rows, as well as stretching, he felt the soreness coming from all over his body, and the teenager finally let out a long breath of turbidity......

"Whew~"

"The morning exercise is now complete, it's time to go back......"

The boy's home was at the end of the grove, near a high mountain, and he did not live with the villagers.

But the boy was not in a hurry to go home, and he made his way along a fairly spacious meadow in the woods, and then turned a few corners, and came to a brook with a long stick stuck in its bank.

This is the main place where the villagers in the village use to water the fields, pick vegetables, wash clothes, etc., basically as long as it is summer, there will be a lot of shirtless men who come here to play in the water and enjoy the coolness, but now it is only early spring, the air is still a little cool, and the sun has just risen, basically no one comes here to wash vegetables at this time, so there is only one teenager here.

Since there was no one around, the young man had no scruples, so he directly tore off the rag with his hair wrapped around his head from his waist, soaked it directly in the water, and when it was soaked in clean stream water, he took it out again and gently wiped the sweat on his body with it.

In the early spring, the temperature of the stream is still low at this time, even if the young man is strong, after a cold water, the forest wind blows, the young man is also trembling, and the heat is seven or eight minutes.

Wring out the strip-like rag on his hand and washing it with water a few times, the boy tied up his long hair again, and the boy couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"Everything else is fine, but this ancient custom, long hair is really difficult to take care of......"

After tying up his hair, the boy skillfully pulled out the long stick inserted on the bank by the stream, stabbed it into the stream accurately, and lifted the stick again, which was a small fish the size of a palm from the water.

The small fish is about seven or eight inches long, which is not very large, but it is already rare in this small stream.

It is estimated that after the heavy snow in winter, the weather finally warmed up, and I swam from the depths to the shallow water, and the result was cheaper.

"Poor and rich, big meat can't be found, there is a big fish, today is really good luck......"

Looking at the little fish in his hand that was still fluttering twice when he died, the young man's face suddenly showed a "simple" smile.

He exercises every day, but it is already a major festival to be able to find a little oily in the food of a poor family, not to mention the nourishment of big fish and meat.

It was now early spring, and the fish in the creek had been resting all winter before they became so sluggish that they could easily appear on the shore and be caught by him.

If you wait until the weather warms up and the cool men, playful children, and washing peasant women gather by the stream, it will not be so simple to catch fish in the stream again......

"Alas~ Why are you worried about this, anyway, I won't be here in the summer......"

Shaking his head slightly, the young man put on his clothes again, and was about to leave directly, but before he could take two steps, a figure suddenly appeared on the other side of the creek, but he stopped him with a voice.

The young man looked up at the bank of the stream on the other side, and saw a man with a kind face and a decent dress who appeared on the other side of the stream at some point, and shouted to him across a stream:

"Hey, young man over there, can you tell me how to get to Sangzhong Town......"

Hearing the shouts of the man opposite, the young man couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Sangzhong Town is the largest town in the vicinity, and although it may seem strange to say, it is true, there are a total of thirteen villages in the backwoods of Dahulu Mountain, but there is only one small town.

The reason why Big Gourd Mountain is called Big Gourd Mountain is because on the map, this big mountain resembles a big gourd scoop, and including the village where the boy is located, thirteen villages are distributed in a ring arc on the curved surface of the gourd head, and only Sangzhong Town is located in Hulukou and connected to the outside world.

To tell the truth, if this man asks the farmers in the village, it is estimated that he will not be able to ask the reason, after all, the peasant family does not go out much, there are butchers, hunters, female workers in the village, and even those who sell white supplies, most of the time there is no need to go to the market, and most of them have never left the village.

But if you ask the young man, it is really the right person, the young man's family situation is special, and he often follows his family to Sangzhong Town, he is really familiar with this road.

Therefore, without any hesitation, the young man showed the way for the man.

"Head east from here...... Then ......"

Hearing the young man's words, the man smiled heartily, thanked him and planned to leave directly, but before leaving, the man paused, turned his head again and shouted to the young man who was about to leave:

"Young man, can you tell me your name?"

The young man was really slightly stunned by this, this question has never been asked to him, after all, the village is basically acquaintances, and there are elders who are socializing with others outside, and it is really rare to be asked by others directly for their names.

However, the young man was not surprised for long, and after being stunned for a moment, he raised his head and replied with a "simple" expression:

"Wu He......"
